I really like the easy way they drift toward each other and eventually come together, how easy it is for us to fill in the spaces between. Their comfort in each other's presence is beautiful, and I particularly love that they seem to want nothing more than to be close to each other, that the sex just happened naturally, that even though they both brought condoms there was no rush to put them to use. Really lovely.

This was seriously THE best kind of awesome. Both Aidan & Richard coming together, drawn to each other & so comfortable with each other -- I assume they got to the kissing eventually ;) -- and understanding that it's New Zealand and this place changes everyone (usually for the better.)

Thank you for such an amazing gift & for such a lovely slice of life fic. And for including both Jed and Ian as the old hats of the group, who've been through this all already & know the score. :D

i am so relieved it hits the right spots.

i dunno about the kissing! possibly not on that occasion. . . *wink*

[azewewish]

Oh, I definitely think the kissing didn't happen until much later, but I'm sure it did. I mean, once you've had a guy's cock & balls in your mouth, how weird can kissing possibly be? ;)

Oh my, what fun!

Oh, I loved this! It's got a nice, easy pacing that works beautifully with the imagery you've created here. There are a few spots that made me giggle (Aidan almost falling off the bed, Richard's prosthetics) and more than a few that were beautiful and sweet and hot in their simplicity. Great job with the characterizations and with the way you have them slowly waltzing towards the inevitable.

Great job, heading us in one direction and then telling us -- matter-of-factly and amusingly -- a completely different turn of events. These two are a natural pairing and still so new to imagine. But oh, the imagining is an awful lot of fun.

Delightfully told, a real treat. Thank you!
